Request a call
In the quiet farming community of Nivenevene, in Chiúre district, Cabo Delgado province, narrow dirt roads stretch for miles through fields of maize, pumpkins and peanuts. During the rainy season, the roads become muddy and difficult to travel. But today, dozens of families have gathered in the shade provided by the village’s trees to seek care for their young children.

Become a champion for children

Champion for Children is an annual membership programme that allows your business to make a meaningful impact for children living in emergencies caused by conflict and natural disasters.

By becoming a Champion for Children, your business can help save children’s lives during emergencies while demonstrating leadership, generosity, and a commitment to a better future.

When you sign up, your business will be recognised as a Champion for Children, receiving benefits that demonstrate your values to your employees, customers and stakeholders.

Your Impact with UNICEF

With offices in more than 190 countries across the globe, UNICEF is the world’s leading children’s organisation, committed to upholding the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and advocating for all children, everywhere.

Champions for Children contribute to the Children’s Emergency Fund (CEF). This fund allows UNICEF to plan and prepare for the eventuality of an emergency, pre-positioning vital life-saving emergency supplies in at-risk regions and provide training on distribution and use of supplies before an emergency. So that when a disaster does strike, we are ready to reach children with life-saving support anywhere in the world within hours.
